[QUOTE="robbo100, post: 918166, member: 91446"] That is great news. I have to admit that I have resorted to using MultiShortCut plugin to start Skype.exe using the argument "/callto:username", to make videos calls to specific friends (I have a multishortcut plugin item for each of my main friends). You need to also setup Skype to automatically start the webcam, and setup a remote control key mapping to a couple of Skype Hotkeys (to answer call (green teletext button) and hangup call (red teletext button)), and also map a button to kill Skype to let you return to MP (since the Skype process doesn't stop when you use ALT+F4, it just minimises to the task bar). It is far from elegant, but it does allow me to make video calls using the remote control alone from the comfort of my sofa. However, it doesn't allow me to receive calls on an ad-hoc basis. Having a proper Skype plugin would be excellent! [/QUOTE]
